Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off a new weekly theme, "Debunking Myths, and we discussed the statement, "There is no absolute Truth". One of our special guests was Rebecca McLaughlin. We highlighted her book, "Confronting Christianity: 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion", which was named book of the year by Christianity Today. Philip Miller, Senior Pastor of Moody Church in Chicago also joined us. He challenged us to flip absolute truths on themselves to see what myths stand firm and which ones fall short. Finally, Dr. Andy Bannister, Director of Solas, author, and speaker, unpacked the power of apologetics in absolute Truth.

In this closing conversation from Day One at RSAC Conference 2025, ITSPmagazine co-founders Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli reflect on what they're hearing in the halls, on the show floor, and in conversations with attendees—and the picture they're painting may surprise you.Sean Martin raises a recurring theme that's come up in multiple off-camera discussions: the increasing hesitancy among CISOs to engage with new vendors or consider new technologies unless they come from familiar sources. The concern isn't about the technology itself—it's about time, trust, and the overwhelming volume of noise. In many cases, CISOs prefer to rely on their peer network rather than explore unknown options, potentially limiting their exposure to different ways of thinking about risk and security.But this isn't just a “vendor fatigue” issue. It's a structural one.Martin points to a conversation with Philip Miller, who emphasized the need for vendors to connect with the security team—not just the CISO. That shift could unlock a healthier, more scalable way to evaluate solutions without overloading leadership. When security teams are empowered to explore, test, and validate, it changes the decision-making dynamic and may lead to more open-minded program development—especially as AI begins reshaping how data and security interact.Meanwhile, Marco Ciappelli looks at this cultural tension from a societal perspective. He draws parallels between the speed of technological progress and the slower-moving nature of regulation, governance, and even human behavior. If security programs are stuck in reactive modes—bound by risk aversion, budget constraints, or outdated expectations—how can they support the innovation their businesses (and society) demand?The two hosts conclude that change isn't just needed—it's already underway, albeit unevenly. The key may lie in empowering the broader security ecosystem, from frontline analysts to policy makers, to think and act with more agility.For those wrestling with how security can lead rather than lag, this conversation offers a timely reflection—and a few provocations worth sitting with.What does a future-ready security program really look like?Learn more and catch more stories from RSAC Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsac25___________Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] Power in the Dark In our darkest hours—when we feel alone, frightened, and powerless—Jesus shows us another way. Join us in Luke 22:47–71 as we witness Jesus in His darkest hour. Though betrayed, denied, and condemned, He remains calm, courageous, and utterly in control. The BetrayalJudas betrays Jesus with a kiss. Yet Jesus, fully aware, steps forward, protects His disciples, heals His enemy, and confronts the powers of darkness. The DenialPeter denies Jesus three times. But Jesus, knowing all of Peter's failures, still loves, prays for, and later restores him. The Omniscient One is denied, but never vindictive. The CouncilIn a sham trial, Jesus refuses to play their game. Instead, He boldly proclaims Himself the Son of Man, seated at the right hand of God. Condemned, but never vanquished. Takeaway:It might look like the powers of darkness are winning.But it is King Jesus who wields Power in the Dark. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] In this passage, the tension is building as Jesus' predictions of his arrest, suffering, death, and resurrection are becoming imminent. His disciples are beginning to realize the seriousness of the situation—they are on the eve of danger, unprepared for the trials ahead. Jesus, knowing they are not ready, seeks to prepare them for what's coming, focusing not on external threats but on internal dangers of the heart. He warns them about four specific dangers within themselves that they must confront, dangers that are also present in all of us. I. The Danger of Entitlement (Luke 22:24-30) We overindulge our ego. The disciples argue over who is the greatest. Jesus redefines greatness: true leaders serve others. Takeaway: Get serving! II. The Danger of Delusion (Luke 22:31-34) We overestimate our strength. Jesus warns Peter that Satan desires to sift him. Peter insists he will never fail, but Jesus predicts his denial. Takeaway: Get real! III. The Danger of Naïveté (Luke 22:35-38) We overvalue our success. The disciples assume their past experiences will continue without hardship. Jesus warns them to prepare for opposition. Takeaway: Get ready! IV. The Danger of Denial (Luke 22:39-46) We overlook our peril. Jesus prays in agony, fully aware of the suffering ahead. The disciples sleep instead of praying, unprepared for the coming trial. Takeaway: Get strength! [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] Have you ever felt like everything was falling apart, only to realize later that those difficult moments were actually setting the stage for something greater? As we approach the Easter season, I'm reminded of how Jesus faced His darkest hour with unwavering courage and purpose. Let's explore how His actions during the Last Supper can inspire us to find triumph even in our most challenging times. The Gathering Darkness As we look at Luke 22:1-23, we see the plot against Jesus thickening. The religious leaders are scheming, Judas is betraying, and the shadow of the cross looms large. Yet, in this moment of impending tragedy, Jesus demonstrates an astounding level of control and foresight. "Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people" (Luke 22:1-2). The irony is palpable. During a festival celebrating God's deliverance of His people, the religious leaders are plotting to kill the very One who came to bring ultimate deliverance. Jesus' Masterful Command Despite the evil brewing around Him, Jesus remains in complete control. He gives His disciples oddly specific instructions about preparing for the Passover meal: "He replied, 'As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, "The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there'" (Luke 22:10-12). This level of detail shows us that Jesus "knows exactly what's going on. He's in full command of the situation." Nothing takes Him by surprise. He sees it all – "the upper room, the Garden of Gethsemane, the hill of Calvary, the empty tomb." Jesus is "masterfully in command of His own destiny." A Meal of Deep Significance As Jesus reclines at the table with His disciples, He infuses the traditional Passover meal with new, profound meaning: "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you'" (Luke 22:19-20). In this moment, Jesus is "serving up His own life" for His followers. He's establishing a new covenant, fulfilling ancient promises, and preparing to become the ultimate Passover Lamb. Triumph in Tragedy Even as Jesus faces betrayal and death, we see triumph emerging: Jesus allows evil to play into His own hands, using it for ultimate good. He demonstrates His divine foreknowledge and sovereignty over all events. Jesus willingly offers Himself as the sacrifice that will bring redemption to the world. As He says in John 10:18, "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again." Finding Our Triumph So how can we apply these truths to our own lives when we face dark times? Trust in God's bigger picture: Like Jesus, we can face difficulties knowing that God can work all things for good (Romans 8:28). Remember who we are in Christ: The Lord's Supper reminds us that we are covered by Jesus' sacrifice and united with Him. Look forward with hope: Our current struggles are temporary. We have a future glory to anticipate (2 Corinthians 4:17). Serve others sacrificially: Jesus' example challenges us to love and serve, even in difficult circumstances. Commune with Christ: Draw strength from your relationship with Jesus, especially in times of trial. Remember, "If we share in His sufferings, we know we shall also share in His glories." Whatever tragedy you might be facing, know that in Christ, triumph is possible. Fix your eyes on Jesus, who turned the tragedy of the cross into the triumph of our salvation. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

What if you could know the future? In Luke 21, Jesus reveals what is to come—both the destruction of Jerusalem and His ultimate return. This sermon explores His prophetic words, showing how history confirms His truth and how His promises shape how we live today. The Destruction of Jerusalem – Jesus foretells the fall of the Temple, which occurred in 70 AD, warning His followers to remain faithful through persecution. The Coming of the Son of Man – The chaos of the world is not the end; it points to Jesus' return in power and glory. The Posture of Faithful Awaiting – Jesus calls us to be spiritually prepared as we await His return. Takeaways Watch Yourselves – Do not be weighed down by sin or the distractions of life. Stay Awake – Remain spiritually alert and ready for Christ's return. Pray Hard – Seek God's strength to endure trials and temptation. Stand Firm – Endure faithfully and boldly witness for Christ. Listen Well – Stay grounded in God's Word, the only truth that endures. Knowing the future changes how we live today. Are you ready? Watch, be encouraged, and trust in the One whose words will never pass away.

Friends, we've been diving deep into Luke, and today I want to unpack what we really, really need in this life. We're looking at three key things: a greater son, a better goodness, and a deeper offering. You see, many in Jesus' day were fixated on a Messiah who'd simply kick out the Romans and restore Israel's glory days. They wanted David 2.0. But Jesus, through a clever little Bible study on Psalm 110, exposes their blind spot. He shows them that Messiah isn't just David's son, but also David's Lord! This means Messiah has to be both son of David AND Son of God! We need a savior who's not just a political liberator, but one who conquers sin, Satan, and even death itself! And it's not enough to just look the part, like those scribes with their fancy robes and long prayers. Jesus warns us about those who prioritize outward appearances over genuine heart transformation. We need a righteousness that surpasses mere performance, a goodness that flows from a heart made new by God's Spirit. Finally, Jesus points us to a poor widow who, despite her meager offering of two tiny coins, gives more than the wealthy folks tossing in their surplus. Why? Because God doesn't count our gifts, He weighs them. He sees the heart behind the offering. This widow, in her poverty, gave her all – a beautiful picture of surrendered delight. Friends, Jesus is the one we really need. He's the greater son who offers true salvation, the source of lasting goodness that transforms us from the inside out, and the one who empowers us to live lives of surrendered delight, holding nothing back from our loving God.

You know, they say there's two subjects you don't bring up in polite conversation: politics and religion. Convictions run deep, tempers can run hot, and it usually ends up in an argument. Well, today we dove into how the religious leaders tried to trap Jesus with these very topics, attempting to undermine His authority. But Jesus, calm, clever, and collected, brilliantly outmaneuvered them, remaining laser-focused on what truly matters. First, they challenged Jesus on paying taxes to Caesar, hoping to paint Him as a political rebel or a Roman sympathizer. With the simple question, "Whose image is on this coin?", Jesus highlighted their dependence on a system ruled by Caesar while emphasizing God's ultimate claim on their lives. "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are God's." Give Caesar your money, fine, but give God your everything. You bear His image. Next, the Sadducees, those who deny the resurrection, presented a convoluted scenario about a woman with seven husbands, aiming to expose the supposed absurdity of resurrection life. Jesus cut through their smokescreen, reminding them that earthly marriage points to the ultimate covenant love of God. In the resurrection, we will all belong to God, experiencing a love that transcends our earthly understanding. He then challenged their skepticism by pointing to God's self-revelation to Moses, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," the God not of the dead, but of the living! These traps reveal how easily we get distracted by political fights and religious debates, losing sight of the bigger picture. Jesus reminds us to keep the main thing the main thing: the ultimacy of God, the eternality of souls, and the supremacy of hope. We were created by and for God, destined for eternal life in His presence. This is the hope we cling to, the truth that should shape our lives. So, friends, let's not be co-opted into someone else's lesser agenda. Let's not get derailed by divisive debates or political maneuvering. Instead, let's fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who stayed the course to the cross and beyond. Let's live as gospel people, centered on the unshakeable truth of God's love and the glorious hope of resurrection life. Let's keep the main thing the main thing!

Friends, this passage from Luke 19 and 20 paints a powerful picture of Jesus rescuing true religion. It's a sad truth that religion can be twisted and corrupted by those seeking profit and power, just like those TV preachers with their private jets and mansions, discrediting authentic faith. This isn't a new problem; it's an age-old one. Jesus himself confronted these hypocrites, these "broods of vipers," head-on. He saw what they were doing to the temple, turning the court of the Gentiles, meant for prayer and seeking God, into a marketplace. They were exploiting people, lining their pockets with exorbitant fees for temple taxes and animal sacrifices. Jesus, in his righteous anger, drove them out, reclaiming the temple as a house of prayer. This act of cleansing was a powerful statement. Jesus wasn't just tidying up; he was fulfilling prophecy, coming as the refiner's fire to purify the priesthood and restore righteous offerings. He was taking back what was meant to be a place for all nations to encounter God's love. But the religious leaders weren't about to let him disrupt their lucrative system. They challenged his authority, demanding to know who gave him the right to act. Jesus, ever wise, outmaneuvered them with a question of his own about John the Baptist, leaving them trapped between admitting their hypocrisy and facing the wrath of the people. Then Jesus tells the parable of the vineyard. A man entrusts his vineyard to tenants, expecting a share of the fruit. But the tenants, consumed by greed, abuse and kill the messengers sent by the owner, even his own beloved son, hoping to claim the vineyard for themselves. This story wasn't random; it was a direct confrontation with the religious leaders. They were the tenants, entrusted with God's people and the temple, but they had turned it into a self-serving enterprise. Jesus was the beloved son, rejected and soon to be killed. He was warning them, offering them a final chance to repent. This parable reveals the heart of the problem: these leaders had lost sight of true religion. They had traded covenant love for personal gain, turning God's house into a den of robbers. Jesus, in contrast, embodies true religion. He empties himself for our sake, laying down his authority and ultimately his life as a ransom for many. He gives himself away in self-sacrificing love, the very opposite of the tenants' greed. He is the cornerstone, the foundation of true faith, and everything rests upon him. So, friends, what about us? We live in a world filled with counterfeit religious leaders, those who exploit and abuse for their own gain. But these counterfeits point to the genuine article, the real deal: Jesus. He is the faithful heir, the true cornerstone. He offers us a firm foundation, a life built on something that will never crumble. Will we let him rescue our religion? Will we turn away from the distortions and embrace the authentic faith he offers? Will we build our lives on Jesus, the cornerstone that will never let us down? He is the heart of it all.

Over the last 10 chapters of Luke, we've journeyed with Jesus to Jerusalem, and now, in Luke 19, He arrives. This marks the beginning of Passion Week, His final week before crucifixion and resurrection. Jesus' entry, riding a colt, fulfills Zechariah's prophecy and mirrors Solomon's coronation, signifying Jesus as the rightful heir and King. This act, seemingly humble, declares peace and shalom, contrasting with the image of a conquering king on a warhorse. It signals the arrival of true peace, not just for Israel, but for all nations. The disciples' joyous cries of “Blessed is the King” echo the angels' announcement in Luke 2, further emphasizing Jesus' messianic identity. The Pharisees, threatened by Jesus' claim to kingship, demand He silence His disciples. Their fear stems from a pragmatic agreement with Rome: maintain order and retain religious authority. Jesus' popularity and kingship challenge this delicate balance, risking Roman intervention. This highlights a core struggle many have with Jesus: accepting Him as King requires total allegiance, disrupting our own authority and self-rule. We often prefer Jesus as teacher or advisor, roles that don't demand surrender. Yet, true life and flourishing come only through bowing to His Kingship. Jesus' response to the Pharisees – “if these were silent, the very stones would cry out” – underscores that all creation recognizes and submits to God's rule. We, often blinded by our own desires, rebel, choosing self-inflicted misery over flourishing under His reign. Jesus' weeping over Jerusalem reveals His compassion. He grieves not out of anger, but from a deep love for His people, foreseeing the consequences of their rejection. This compassion culminates in His sacrifice on the cross, dying for those who rejected Him, offering forgiveness and shalom they don't deserve. This act of ultimate love demonstrates Jesus' unique kingship. Unlike earthly rulers who demand submission and take, Jesus gives everything, even His life, so we might willingly kneel in worship. His authority is exercised through love, His power wielded in service, and His rule expressed by sacrifice. This radical kingship extends an offer of abundant life and forgiveness even to those who crucified Him, as Peter proclaims in Acts 2. Therefore, friends, let us not be like the Pharisees, clinging to self-rule and rejecting the King who offers true shalom. Jesus' weeping reminds us of His deep love and the cost of our rebellion. Let us choose flourishing under His reign, embracing His authority and experiencing the abundant life He offers. This is the path to true peace, the shalom that only the King can bring.
